LEARN ENCAUSTIC WAX PAINTING ONE ON ONE OR WITH A SMALL GROUP… LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE.

Penny will teach you the ins and outs of painting with encaustic wax. Learn to melt, color and paint with molten beeswax. Burn patterns and depth into with a blow torch or learn to iron the wax on watercolor paper. Choose a style and learn in a personalized one on one setting or in a small party group with friends.

Empower your artistic experience and “paint with fire” in this intermediate to advanced, one day encaustic wax workshop with Penny Treese at Spruill Center for the Arts.

For students who have established a relationship with layering wax, this class will elevate your work to a new level. Instructor Penny Treese takes participants through a series of new techniques that progress into an open dialogue about the content of paintings. This class delves into what inspires each artist and moves beyond technique to guide individuals through the creation of a successful work of encaustic art.

Experienced encaustic wax painters will enhance their current methods with exciting new techniques that will aide in developing a consistent body of work. This one-on-one teaching environment allows experienced students to advance to a new level of work.

Form a visual narrative through texture, printing, photo manipulation techniques, layering, reassembly approaches and photo washing. Students might use water, wine, natural pigments, found objects or steel wool to create texture. Guided experimentation with printing on fine art paper such as mulberry, tissue or other translucent papers will be included. Psychological depth of individual pieces will be explored during class. Each student receives a pre-workshop “image planning” session with the instructor prior to class via phone or email to select images for the class.

This is an introductory level class. No experience is necessary to participate. However, it is recommended students consider “An Intro to Encaustic” workshop as a prerequisite course.

Required materials are included in the $35 supply fee. This covers your “Materials Kit” and may be purchased from the instructor at the time of the workshop.

Review the supply list at spruillarts.org for “Materials Kit” details and additional information about optional items to bring to class.
